Finally, in related PlayStation 3 hacking news pink1 has made available an R2R+Edat tool followed by a R2R+edat v1.0.1 update with details below, as follows:

Here is a tool I put together. It's pretty much rap2rif, rif2rap and an edat fix tool for C00 type demos. Put your act.dat & idps in the data folder and you're ready for rap2rif & rif2rap. To fix C00 type demos input a .pkg from a C00 demo or the PARAM.SFO and it will output the fixed .edat.

This is a small update to R2R+edat, it fixes edats being a byte short & should speed up pkg2edat a lot by only decrypting the first 5MB instead of the whole pkg. Put your act.dat & idps in the data folder and you're ready for rap2rif & rif2rap. To fix C00 type demos input a .pkg from a C00 demo or the PARAM.SFO and it will output the fixed .edat.

Finally, in related PS3 EDAT news from BuC (aka BuC-ShoTz 1-2013) comes some old EDAT SRC Codes as follows: going through old stuff on my pc, for learning purposes i suppose.

oh silly me, I uploaded the wrong one. Oh well, it has the same properties as the bgm0000002 one, free and edat v4. same error.

... Well now I feel stupid. The error was because I opened it in notepad++ and typed 32 0s.
klic is to be read from a file that is compiled with a hex editor. So I opened HxD and wrote one line of 0s, and now it works.
Brilliant. Another PEBKAC, I think I should think and do a bit more trial and error before typing.
Much thanks to User and Belmodo, I've been obsessing over this most of the weekend.

StanSmith: ...Really, bruh? For someone so SMART, that sure was something DUMB to say.

There are no such things as stupid questions. If a person does not know or is not familiar with patching or is new to custom firmware, then they have a right to ask someone SMART about whether a game works. That's what the ps3/ps4 forums are here for (In case you've forgotten, which it seems like you have.)

I am not going to lie. Sometimes, it gets annoying answering the same question over and over. I used to moderate a group concerning 3.55 firmware and I worked with others who did not understand all the programs well. (Get this--even I don't know how to use all the programs!)

But, you know what? I'm going to ask for help, instead of doing things on my own and end up messing my junk up and then have to go out and buy a new console.

If everyone had these there would be no stupid questions like "Does this work on x.xx CFW?" Instead they would patch it themselves and find out if it works or not.

And by now every new game is coded for 4.50 or higher so everyone should also stop the stupid questions "does this work on 3.55?" IF COURSE NOT! Its not encoded for 3.55 so why would it work on 3.55?

Just upgrade to a newer CFW where the games do work on. If your on a lower CFW like Cobra 4.46 then you need to patch games so you use these programs. If your on 4.50 or above CFW then you dont need these as they already work.

It all comes down to how dumb you are. If your stupid you wont get these apps and you will ask stupid questions all the time and still be on stupid low CFW. If your smart you will be on a higher CFW and have these programs to help you out if you ever need to patch your games and you wont ask stupid questions filling up forums with stupid questions and repeated answers.

Just my 2 cents why you need these programs. They are really simple to use and really fast. By the time you load up your browser, loaded up the forum, asked the question, waited for an answer, replied you could already be playing your game.

Following up on his previous updates, today PlayStation 3 developer JjKkYu has released TrueAncestor EDAT Rebuilder v1.45b followed by v1.45c and a PS3 ISO Rebuilder by jonnysp with the changes outlined below.

Following up on the previous updates and SCETool Script, today PlayStation 3 developer Habib (aka smhabib) who recently released Habib CEX 4.50 V1.03 PS3 CFW unofficially updated PS3 SCETool to version 0.3.1 followed by v0.3.2 for Custom Firmware users with the changes below.

To quote: Basically what it does is,it encrypts iso modules (needed for cfw creation!) with its respective indiv seeds of eid.now normal people can do amazing things.i first posted this on psx-scene but with not much details.SO HERE IT GOES WITH SRC!!!!

A short NOTE:the keys should be only edited with notepad++ to save its formating or you might get errors(latest keyset included!)

To quote: Now I'll give you example of a Fan Control Utility being ran with my kernel and not with any other 4.50 cfw.if you try you'll simply get an error showing bad temp reading and sys_sm_get_fan_policy error. Currently source code is a lot a mess but ill be sharing it too.
